I have three standalone computers accessing Internet with
cable modem and router. I need to place these computers
in a workgroup so that they can share resources, but
would still like for them to continue accessing the
Internet using existing modem/router hardware. I have
installed a new 4-port switch and added a second network
adapter to each PC. I configured static IP addresses (and
subnet masks) for these computers, and configured the
workgroup networking support. Now all workgroup functions
work fine but none of the PCs can access the Internet.
Do I need to configure a default gateway address in each
of the new workgroup network adapters? If so, do I need
to call the cable service provider and get the correct
default gateway address? I would like to maintain the
method these PCs currently access the Internet if
possible. I know that this multihomed configuration is
not the most efficiently way to do this but there are
business reasons that this is being done.
By the way, as soon as I Powered-down the workgroup hub,
all computers could again access the Internet with now
changes to the software configuration.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jim
